Re: Anyone still using CO2 match pistols
I read somewhere about using nitrogen as a gas. If anyone is doing that I'd like to hear from you and how it's working out, it would be very new to me. Yes, since about ten years we use nitrogen in our club to fill PCP pistols and rifles. We started trying to lease compressed air 10 m3 tubes, but t...

Re: My Feinwerkbau P44+R10 Match+R10Match Plus
At first I was a little disgusted, but it was just to remove the first stage, change pellets to RWS R10 Match and fine-tune the aim in another way and it's PERFECT!!! It always amazes me that someone shooting under 500 knows best how to set up a pistol and equiptment to be perfect. Well train hard,...

Re: Air Pistol and the 11 ring
There is no "11" score. Qualifications in air pistol are scored in integer points, only in Olympic finals decimal scoring is used, and then "10.9" is the maximum attainable score. When there is a tie in qualifications, the FIRST method of breaking it is by quantity of inner tens,...

Re: Do We Need Separate Men's and Women's Events
Having helped coach close to a dozen top level women collegiate shooters, the key thing has been that they've never shot before. They don't arrive with any bad habits or preconceived notions about shooting, and they typically have never seen a Dirty Harry movie. We start everyone out with air pisto...

Re: ISSF pistol shooting at risk in Canada?
If the law is put into effect, what happens when the original owner passes on? Since "transfers" are forbidden, the next of kin cannot inherit. Does the government get the guns? What about compensation? Dennis, aka Dulcmrman FWIW, in my country this is exactly what happens. Inheritors mus...

Re: What gun do you most regret parting with?
The law should contemplate a time period during which any one of us, realizing our mistake, could have the mandatory right to buy back guns idiotically sold!!!!! Beg to differ. If we act like idiots (and don't we all from time to time), we deserve no mercy and no do-overs. Hat off to that!!!!!

Re: What gun do you most regret parting with?
I bought an old M19 to replace it, t hen the seller won the powerball and wanted it back but I told him no because he was a dick. See? People like you are those who make us impulse sellers so pitiful. The law should contemplate a time period during which any one of us, realizing our mistake, could ...

Re: What gun do you most regret parting with?
My MTs-55-1. I parted with it when I quit shooting for a while, and on returning to the sport, never was able to talk the buyer into reselling back!!!

Re: The New ISSF Air Pistol Finals Format
Years working to achieve my ISSF judge license, and then this. They've changed the finals format how many times since London 2012? The Mixed team match has changed how many times since its introduction? One doesn't have solely to know the rules and have field experience, now you've got to have a per...

Re: Broken free pistol grip
My contribution is obviously the easy way out, but if your dealings with FedEx give any result and you find yourself awarded with a compensation, you could think of buying an made-almost-to-measure Rink grip.

Re: Show us your Free Pistol
Nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to the thrill of watching an X at 50 meters that you shot purposely. As Wordsworth said of poetry: “emotion recollected in tranquility,” so Rover and I might agree that an almost equal thrill derives from the spirits (although we may differ on the selection) co...

Re: Show us your Free Pistol
I am planning to start shooting the Free Pistol this year. I primary shoot the bullseye pistol but shoot the AP for training also. I thought that the Free Pistol could be nice alternative to keep up our shooting skills during the ammo shortage. I am sure I am not the only one here. Show us what you...

Re: Trigger Weight Setup Point.
If it’s an event that follows ISSF rules the groove will be used. If not, you should have a serious talk with the judges. The rules say that the weight should be placed near the middle of the trigger. I guess that you could claim that “near the middle” would allow for measuring at either side of th...

Re: Trigger Weight Setup Point.
Yes. The current weight system uses a wedge that fits into the groove. Long ago, they had a roller, but with angled triggers, it was hard to get a consistent result. The judge at EQ is not forced by the rules to use the groove, he can weight the trigger further towards the tip of the trigger blade....
